Reliable & Experienced Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I've been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10. I started with pet care for neighbors and family friends. When I graduated High School I started working for dog walker/sitter companies and have been doing it ever since. I have experience with many cat and dog breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with puppies, kittens, oral medicine administration, and difficult to walk dogs. I would love to work with you and your pet!

I came home to happy well-fed cats. I would recommend Gillian to anyone.

If I'm being honest, I wasn't happy with this sitting because I didn't get updates and pics unless I prompted them. One was sent after the first overnight. But all others were prompted. Not to mention, when I did prompt them, I didn't get timely responses. I was highly anxious after asking for an evening update and not hearing back for more than an hour. I wouldn't have asked for any updates at all had they just been sent, at least two a day. He also came back with a bruise on his nose that can't be explained. I sent Gillian a pic and she said she never saw him fall and he never seemed to be in pain so she wasn't sure. I don't know what to think. All I know for sure is he didn't have it when he was dropped off.
